Holding the still-shaken Mirrorrealm Witch, John stepped directly out of the collapsing Shattered Mirror City.
The next moment, the two of them appeared at the entrance of the Corridor of the Old Gods.
Outside the secret realm entrance, the Crowned Witch had already sensed the abnormal tremors inside the dungeon.
A grave look appeared on her face.
"What happened?"
But in the next moment, when John and the Mirrorrealm Witch appeared before her, her expression eased slightly.
Almost at the same time, a world announcement rang in the ears of all players.
[World Announcement: Player "Outlander" has cleared the special dungeon "Corridor of the Old Gods"!]
[Reward: Reputation +50,000!]
[Reward: S-Rank Talent Chest x1!]
...
Hearing the notification, John immediately opened the S-Rank Talent Chest in his inventory.
[Congratulations! You have obtained the S-Rank Talent: Heart of Water!]
...
"Heart of Water?"
John’s expression stirred, and he opened his skill panel.
...
[Heart of Water]
[Effect]: Immune to all water-type damage. Water-type damage increased by 300%. Allows unlimited breathing and movement underwater.
...
"Interesting."
The corners of John’s lips rose. He was quite satisfied with this talent. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
...
At the same time, because the Shattered Mirror City trial space had been forcibly collapsed by John, the large number of spatial monsters and the residual energy of the secret realm inside were all judged by the system as dungeon-clearance gains.
Another system notification rang beside John’s ears.
[Congratulations! You have obtained this dungeon’s clearance gains: 1,000,000 EXP!]
[Your level has increased to Lv.30.]
[You have reached the prerequisite level for Second Class Advancement!]
[Excess EXP has been automatically stored in your experience pool!]

[Quest Requirement: Kill 1,000 monsters of B-Rank or above.]
[Quest Reward]: Second Class Advancement Scroll
...
Just as John was thinking about how to complete the quest, the Crowned Witch looked at the two who had just emerged from the dungeon and was about to ask what had happened inside.
But the Mirrorrealm Witch, her face flushed red, had already shoved John away and coldly threw out a sentence.
"Don’t ask me. Ask him."
After saying that, she turned to leave.
At that moment, John called out to her.
"Wait."
The Mirrorrealm Witch paused. With an unfriendly expression, she turned her head to look back.
Then she saw John toss a silver-blue Spatial Seed toward her.
"This is what you wanted."
The Mirrorrealm Witch caught the Spatial Seed, her expression freezing slightly.
Clearly, she had not expected John to still remember this matter.
She gave a light snort. Her expression improved a little as she put it away, nodded slightly, and then turned to leave.
The Crowned Witch watched the entire exchange from the side, and a faint smile appeared in her eyes.
Then she turned to John and asked, "How were your gains?"
John did not answer directly.
He merely raised his hand slowly.
In his palm, a wisp of Anti-Law was flowing gently.
Beneath that layer of Anti-Law, the pale-blue power of Spatial Authority still existed, but it was no longer as sharp and exposed as before. Nor was there any obvious aura leaking outward.
The Crowned Witch observed it for a moment before nodding slightly.
"I did not expect there to be such a kind of Law power."
John withdrew his hand, then asked, "Do you know where I can find a large number of monsters above B-Rank?"
Hearing this, the Crowned Witch turned her head and glanced at the entrance of the Corridor of the Old Gods.
At this moment, because Shattered Mirror City had suffered a massive impact, the runes at the entrance of the Corridor of the Old Gods were in extreme disorder.
It would take at least twenty-four hours before they could stabilize again.
Seeing her reaction, John immediately felt somewhat helpless.
He had never expected that the place with the largest number of monsters above B-Rank would actually be the Corridor of the Old Gods—the dungeon he had just destroyed.
At that moment, the Crowned Witch said, "Although the Corridor of the Old Gods cannot be entered again for now, there are several monster nests around Axis City. Their levels and ranks should meet your requirements."
As her voice fell, she extended her hand and sent a ray of light into John’s body.
The next moment, several coordinates appeared in John’s mind.
John nodded slightly and thanked her.
"Thank you."
In the next instant, his figure flashed and disappeared from where he stood.
The Crowned Witch watched the direction in which he vanished. A moment later, her own figure also disappeared.
Not long after the two of them left, among the City Lord’s guards responsible for watching over the entrance of the Corridor of the Old Gods this time, one figure silently took half a step back.
The next moment, his body vanished into thin air.
...
Inside the basement of a grand mansion somewhere in Axis City.
In a dark secret chamber, a faceless statue stood silently at the center of the room.
Upon closer inspection, one would notice that a rune was carved into the statue’s forehead.
It was extremely similar to the Godhunter’s Mark on John’s arm.
An old man sat cross-legged before the statue, his eyes closed.
In the darkness, the City Lord’s Mansion guard who had just vanished appeared.
He took a step forward and instantly appeared behind the old man, kneeling on one knee.
The old man slowly spoke.
"Did you find the person our Lord ordered you to monitor?"
The City Lord’s Mansion guard nodded slightly.
"I found him. It is that..."
He immediately reported everything that had happened at the entrance of the Corridor of the Old Gods, as well as the news that John had asked for the coordinates of B-Rank monster nests.
The old man listened quietly.
A moment later, he sneered.
"Last time, that fellow relied on the protection of the Witch Council and escaped our Lord’s projection hunt.
"This time, our Lord has more important matters to attend to and cannot personally project his power.
"Then this is our family’s chance to prove ourselves."
As his voice fell, the old man raised his hand slightly.
The next moment, six black-clad assassins appeared inside the secret chamber.
The auras of these six were extremely cold, and their levels were all above Lv.200.
Clearly, they were six top-tier assassins.
The old man handed all the coordinates of the monster nests to them. At the same time, he took out several special items emitting a gray-red glow.
"These are items bestowed by our Lord.
"Find him. Once you confirm that he is alone, strike immediately.
"Do not give him a chance to contact his allies, and do not waste this rare opportunity!"
The six assassins lowered their heads at the same time and accepted the order.
They took the gray-red items, and their figures vanished into the darkness.
...
At the same time, the player community had also fallen into shock because of the official world announcement.
Outlander had suddenly cleared another special dungeon, and this time, he had even obtained a generous S-Rank reward.
This instantly made all players realize that the gap between them and this player was growing larger and larger.
More importantly, the game had now been open for over a month.
More and more players were gradually leaving the Starter Villages and entering the major main cities.
News of the Origin Stone vein contest had also spread among the player groups.
At this point, this contest was no longer merely a competition between NPC main cities.
For players and the major guilds, this contest represented a vast amount of Reputation, main city favorability, quest rewards, and access to all kinds of future resources.
